Mattlures

[Al Wolbach]

I am interested in the Matt lures swimbait. I want to fish humps in 20-30 feet of water. The Bluegill series sinks at 2 feet/sec (according to website) and is not what I'm looking for. I am looking at the Baby Bass series but the website does not tell the sink rate. I want to fish on or very neat the bottom. Will the Baby Bass sink fast and stay in contact with the bottom this deep? Thanks all...............Al

The baby bass sinks faster than the bluegill and stays down easily. I have fished the bluegill down to about 30 feet. They are cool little baits, thats for sure.

Thanks fourbizzle, maybe I shouldn't rule out the Bluegill, just fish slower................Al

Anytime. I do think it would be worth your time to try the bluegill as well. The baby bass gets pounded, I would order the three pack. Average fish just hammer them, and so do good 'uns. Good luck.

Don't rule out dead sticking the bluegill.

I'm gonna give the dead sticking a try.  Never thought of that, I just kept swimming them in.  Never been hit, but had a few escorted to shore by fat pigs. Thanks

Thanks guys, I will order both. Dead sticking the bluegill sounds very interesting. I had always just fished them much like a deep crankbait, chunk and wind. The bluegill may be just what I really need........Thanks again...........Al
